Course programme

· Trimester 1
You’ll gain a broad understanding of the ways in which economics, politics and society inform educational policy and determine the context in which leaders operate.
We’ll introduce you to the key practices of effective leadership. You’ll use this knowledge to critically explore how leadership strategically brings about educational change through understanding theories of change and drawing on your own professional experience.

· Trimester 2
You’ll learn how to undertake research within educational settings. A range of different methodologies will be explored, and we’ll support you to write a proposal for your own research project.
In this trimester you’ll also have the opportunity to study for two elective modules, one of which may be chosen from one of the other MA Education pathways.

· Trimester 3
In your final trimester, you’ll write a dissertation (15,000 - 20,000 words) on a aspect of educational leadership that particularly interests you. You’ll be supported by a tutor and benefit from one-to-one tutorials. You’ll also be able to attend optional research seminars.

Course assessment

There are no written exams on this course; each module is assessed through coursework. This typically involves an essay of 3,500 to 5,000 words for a 15 credit module or 7,000 to 10,000 words for a 30 credit module. In some modules you may be assessed by presentations or online activity. The 60 credit dissertation is 15,000 – 20,000 words in length and focuses on an area agreed with a specialist tutor, who will offer guidance on structure and academic writing.
